FIRST, MAKE IT TASTY!
The key is the tasty marinade that needs to soak for at least 2 hours and fresh ingredients!
My go-to for a BBQ and a fan favorite! No mayo or dressing so it won’t spoil while you prepare your other dishes on the grill!
Healthy and delicious side or starter with natural sweetness balancing out a BBQ flavoring.
SECOND, DIY IT!
Enjoy this classic and strategic game outdoors!
1. Purchase at least 34 feet of 1×4 wooden boards in the lumber section of Home Depot, cut/saw into 3.75’’ to make 100 square tiles.
2. Sand and smooth with sandpaper.
3. Use black paint to paint the letters + scoring numbers, do a simple Google search to find the point values.
4. Seal the tiles with a Rust-Oleum cover.
5. Use your yard as the board and get scrabbling!
Easy DIY! Create your own team colors and use recyclable items. It’s also great for the kiddos to have a hand in.
